Old School RuneScape Launches

The RuneScape 2007 Server Poll announces the launch of Old School RuneScape following a vote of support from RuneScape players for a retro version of the free-to-play adventure game. The fledgling version is live for all who have voted, but Jagex is also still deciding how much support to put behind this. Word is:

RuneScape as it was in late 2007 has often been heralded as one of the defining periods of the game by its players. Since 2007 the game has undergone some significant improvements, including a completely new graphic and audio engine, upgrade of its combat system and with additional quests and updates added weekly.

Through the vote over the next week, RuneScape players will decide what level of investment the Old School RuneScape should receive going forward, ranging from a basic service with just critical maintenance, to an additional full blown development team focusing on evolving that game in a different direction the players votes will decide.
